an unrealized sewing quest
The Ultimate Cozy Victorian Dressing-Gown/Housedress
Dark green light- or medium-weight SOFT wool
China silk lining- maybe silver or a pale gold?
Embroidery on the cuffs, hem, and collar. Probably something from Sewstine's Etsy shop; I have a friend with an embroidery machine
Princess-line
now if I could just FIND the damn FABRIC. but buying wool that's neither suiting nor coating is NIGH IMPOSSIBLE (let alone at a REASONABLE PRICE)
#sewing#historybounding#historical fashion#I found soft medium-weight wool online. o n c e.#and it was a crapshoot because the description was not remotely clear on the weight. just that it was Not Coating#and because this was for a skirt that was fine#the fact that it arrived and was just Preternaturally Soft and Flowy was sheer luck
